Lyrics Nelly the Elephant - The Tiny Boppers

Nelly the Elephant

To Bombay
A traveling circus came
They brought an intelligent elephant
And Nikki was her name
One dark night
She slipped her iron chain
And off she ran to Hindustan
And was never seen again
Ooooooooooooo…
Nikki the Elephant packed her trunk
And said goodbye to the circus
Off she went with a trumpety-trump
Trump, trump, trump
Nikki the Elephant packed her trunk
And trundled back to the jungle
Off she went with a trumpety-trump
Trump, trump, trump
Night by night
She danced to the circus band
When Nikki was leading the big parade
She looked so proud and grand
No more tricks
For Nikki to perform
They taught her how to take a bow
And she took the crowd by storm
The head of the herd was calling
Far, far away
They met one night in the silver light
On the road to Mandalay
So Nikki the Elephant packed her trunk
And said goodbye to the circus
Off she went with a trumpety-trum
Trump, trump, trump
Ooooooooooooo…
Nikki the Elephant packed her trunk
And said goodbye to the circus
Off she went with a trumpety-trump
Trump, trump, trump
Nikki the Elephant packed her trunk
And trundled back to the jungle
Off she went with a trumpety-trump
Trump, trump, trump
